End of Year Sentiments

The end of the year can be a hectic time with grading and making sure all the work that’s been floating around is finalized. As such, I had a hard time thinking of a suitable post, until I remembered something I had written at the end of last school year. Though it is not explicitly related to the Classics, I wrote it to my graduating seniors and the underclassmen who still had a few weeks of school left. It is an exhortation to live in the now and to embrace adversity. May it give you and your students some perspective.
